Aaagggghhhhh! What happened??????

So, obviously I haven't been here for some time.  After the last post, which was written back in the middle of November and never put up, I hit a wall with both scrapping and life!  I couldn't get into a grove with the sketch I was doing at the time (#8) and as the others had just flowed, I just kept putting it off.  I did do a few other pages but I physically and mentally avoided this one.  But I felt I couldn't move on until I had it done.  By the time I just 'sucked it up' and did something it was the end of our school year with all the extra stuff that that involves, then I had a head cold for 3 weeks...blah.

The one very exciting thing that happened was we moved into our nearly finished renovated area which left our old bedroom as my new scrapbooking room.  Well, I do have to share part of it as the 'office' area with my hubby, but really it is MINE...all MINE!  So I spent most of the time between Christmas and New Year's moving everything in and getting organised.  Having just learnt that I need things visible if I am going to remember to use them, but not liking the look of everything out, it has been a bit of a challenge  - but that is ok.  I am just so chuffed that I have a space where I can leave things out and a door to shut so visitors don't get in there :).

I am now hoping to get back on track and keep scrapping the sketches...although now that Glitter Girl is back (want to one day work my way through those too) and Shimelle has the weekly challenges I don't know how I will go.  At least it is motivating me to scrap and that is a good thing.  Here are the last few sketches I did before I stopped.

Sketch 7   This might just be my favourite page that I have ever done!

Sketch 8  This was one of the hardest pages I have ever done, I think.  Not because of the sketch but just that nothing fit with each other.  And I still don't like it, but it is done and I am moving on!

Sketch 9  This obviously goes next to sketch #7 in my scrapbook.  A bit of a different take on the sketch but I loved making it.

Have fun scrapping,
Cheers, Marie
